Let’s face it: from one ribbon hoarder to another - we all want to win. But for some teams, every trial feels like a never ending struggle of disengagement, displacement, or discouragement.

You’ve tried everything you can think of but your dog is still crittering in corners, avoiding entire sections of a search area, or even snatching at hides instead of alerting. It can feel like your teamwork is inconsistent or falling apart. You’re at your wits end and it’s starting to feel hopeless. When conventional training advice doesn’t seem to cut it, Adam is here to offer a different perspective.

Solid teamwork is built on trust - and trust is a two way street. Adam believes that shifting our focus from trials to training, and redefining what success looks like can make a world of a difference if you find yourself struggling.

With ten years of training and trialing under their belt, paired with a unique application of Scent Work within their behavior modification program, Adam uses the experience and perspective they’ve gained over the years to help teams reach their potential within their goals.

Join us while Adam explores some common themes they find cropping up that might impede teamwork and erode trust between a handler and their dog, as well as some possible solutions for these common issues while looking at some case studies to highlight their conclusions.
